SuppORTING MEN TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE
SuppORTING MEN TO BE THE BEST THEY CAN BE
about me
I started supporting men in 2008 when I worked as a self-employed mobile car and truck tyre fitter. I ran violence prevention groups for men in the evenings and a monthly fire in the woods for men and boys. I sustained an injury and was unable to continue with my business. This supported my decision for a career change. Keeping up with the groups and now one-to-one coaching, I went to work for a local authority helping police, social services and members of the public from within the domestic abuse prevention team.
​
I am a graduate of The Embodied Facilitator Course (2017) and worked as UK Room Manager for this international embodiment training until 2023. I have trained in Embodied Yoga Principles for coaches and use these principles in my work. I was part of the organising team of The Embodiment Conference 2020 and I presented at the inaugural Online Men’s Gathering 2021 on Embodying Masculine Archetypes.
2020 was a year, wasn't it?
​
I enjoy life with Karin, my wife, in the Yorkshire Wolds, delivering male focused trainings, storytelling and helping others. In 2021 I co-founded Men's Circle and wrote and delivered the facilitator training and joined The Kingfisher Project - A rites of passage event for teenage boys - where I am now in the leadership team.
I co-deliver Lives of Quiet Deperation - an experiential training in theraputic work with men.
I also have a private practice coaching, mentoring and instructing men, usually meeting due to them recognising a need for help.
​
I am a storyteller, a story explorer, believing stories to be more than true and holding treasure to discover. I also hold a Firewalk Instructor certificate for a four day training and the final 'exam' being 108 consecutive firewalks.
​
I’m also working with other Men's Work leaders and embodiment facilitators delivering workshops, training and retreats. Click here to see current activities.
I enjoy being outdoors, fire, slingshot practice and spending time with my granddaughter and grandson.
